  1. I run 5 Klipsch Towers on a Harman Kardon and in 5 Channel Mode it's 50 WPC. The HK has a fair amount of current. I'll only need more power when we move and get a Larger Room. Right now, I have plenty of power. When I get a new AVR it will be a Marantz with preouts so I can add an amp if I want and I want. I will probably buy one at Accessories4less. They have refurbs and I've had good units from there.
  2. Crutchfield had some for a little while, don't know how they got them. I don't think they have these But I saw a newer model at a good price. I am very pleased with the price I got.
  3. I've seen many pics of Damaged Copper Cones. WHY? I'm guessing someone "Did Something" It can't be the way these cones are made can it?
  4. You should be able to remove any oil filter by hand. You snug it up, and tighten it up 1/3 turn. Many of the housings are so thin you can damage them with too much force. 1/3 turn and it will stay on.
  5. I find it's best to install the Oil Filter with a Impact Gun. No Oil Leaks Here.
  6. I had a Firmware update about 2 weeks ago. There are not many from Denon. I hard wired my computer to the H-K so I can listen to music. My H-K isn't near as fancy as the Denon but it sounds so much better. It doesn't have the fakey Boom sound and the transients are so much cleaner. I'll get a Marantz later to replace the Denon with preouts because I want some tubes down the road.
  7. Thanks Guys, I'll call and check this stuff out. I'd hate to throw it away.
  8. I unplugged it several times and did several "Factory Reset" Moves according to the owners manual. I've been trying. Gonna let it rest for a little while and try it again.
  9. A Power outage during a Storm took out my Denon. It turns on but doesn't respond to remote commands and won't change "Modes". I had to go to storage and get my 8 Yr. Old Harman Kardon. No Streaming Music until I get something new. Of course I could buy a Bluetooth Streamer from Parts Express. H-K Amps sound Good. It pays to have something in Reserve. I won't miss Perry Mason Tonight !
  10. Do you Really need 400 Feet of Speaker Wire? 😁😁😁😁
  11. It depends on how big your room is and How loud you'll be playing music and or movies. The Sub will take a lot of STRESS off the others speakers by playing the Lowest Frequencies. For Quality, The RP-600M will give you better sound within it's limits due to the reasons I stated above. I have lower quality Klipsch with IMG Woofers and they sound good. I bought a pair of RF Klipsch with Ceremetalic Cones and they do sound better. I personally do not like the sound of the Aluminum Tweeter. The upgraded tweeters in the RP Line are Mo Better. So I personally think, That the Quality of of sound from the upper lines of Klipsch is better.
  12. Your Right, The R-620 is Bigger. If Floor Standing Speakers are what you're wanting the the R-620 should be Your Choice. They Will have more Bass. Double check the Tweeters, They are Different.
  13. The RP uses Different Bass Drivers, different Crossovers, Different Tweeters Better Cabinets. All Around a Better Speaker.
  14. OK, My "setup" button is right beside the Volume buttons. when I press it goes to "Audio" on the TV Menu Then Hit "Enter" and the "Dialogue Level" Appears Hit enter again and you'll see the level for the Center Channel. A 1911 has Plenty of power to drive the Speakers you want to buy. In Most cases you probably Will Not use over 5 to 10 Watts to drive those speakers because they will be too Loud. Your AVR is OK Hope this Helps
  15. I use Towers all the way around. A Stand takes as much space as a tower. I have cats, A Tower is Harder to knock over. As for Moving Towers, Use Furniture Sliders under each Foot, makes moving Speakers Easy. Also Towers all the way around sound great for loud music if your having a party.
  16. I did have a Large Pair of Polks, S60 Signature that was Boomy and contained 3--6&1/2 inch drivers. The top driver was the transition drivers to the Tweeter but Polk left the cabinet completely open to the top. I filled the cabinet just behind the top driver (midrange) with Poly and it Stopped the Boominess and really cleared up the Mids. I never could get those Speakers to sound right so I sold them and got new Klipsch. They sound Sooo Much Better.
  17. Inspecting my New to me speakers, when I looked in the ports, they contained Zero Foam or anything in the bottom of the cabinets. But they sound really good, so I wouldn't do anything to mine to mess up the sound. If it ain't broke, can you fix it?
  18. When setting the Dialogue Level. on the remote on a Denon when you press the "setup" button, and "Audio" is showing, press that and then a "Dialogue Level" Setting is available. It is separate from the normal speaker levels. You can use this to Boost the Center even more and make your center as Loud & Clear as you need it.
  19. You can Buy all the different center speakers you want but if you do not have your speakers levels set correctly you will still have a dialogue problem. Yes run the calibration and let the AVR set the levels then you will probably Tweak the center level from there. Get a Movie that you like with Action and Talking at the same time. Turn the sound to the point that you normally listen with. If the dialogue is Hard to Hear, Turn up The Center Channel until the dialogue becomes dominate and understandable. Forget the numbers on the AVR, just get the sound right.
  20. I didn't know Klipsch didn't offer a surround dual driver speaker. You will have to move to a different line to get that/
  21. IDK if it makes a difference but Deang, who did my crossovers, recommended this to me so I do it that way.
  22. I Do Not Bi amp my Speakers. You're right, they're very efficient so when I Single Wire mine, I plug my wire into the "Top Post", Tweeter direct, and send Lower signal through the jumpers.
  23. Just my personal opinion. You already have the R series. For surrounds & Atmos it makes more sense to stay in the same line. The RP is More expensive and to pay those prices for Atmos is a waste of money. They are just ambient speakers, I'd just stay within the line you own.
